??

 

cc the combustion chamber

 

measure the casting from top to bottom with a 6" dial caliper (do this in 3 places on each side - hopefully they are even) stock head height for a b16a2 or b18c5 is something like 5.589-5.593" - start with that and subtract your measurments...hope that makes sense

thanks.. got an idea where i can find the stock height of an LS head?

 

5.195-5.199" per the helms manual for a 98-01 b18b1 integra

edit - lol didn't notice the mention of the "ls" in the original post

u think its the same for 94-97 ls heads? i think the head is a 96..

 

i cant say for sure...but i'm sure someone else on this board will have the right info or the helms manual for those years...

 

You can also sometimes tell by how deep the quench pads are. Less scientific but it's usually easy to tell if a head has been milled quite a bit. There are also tabs off to the sides with mill-limit indicators, so you can get an idea based on how much of a gap is left. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at the lower right corner of this picture, and note the circular part of the casting:

 

thanks for all the info guys..

btw the height of 94-97 ls heads is the same as 98+
